   外文学习不可避免地要谈如何记忆,尤其是记忆词汇。帮助记忆的方法很多,书上写的口头传的,谁都能说出些子午卯酉三经六脉,个中难免“好坏有别良莠不齐”。但别忘了学习方法需要因人而异量身裁衣。


  最常听说的记忆英文词汇的方法恐怕是这个: 每天背单词n个,坚持数月/年,积少成多,定有大成。For lack of a better term,我们称这种方法为“死记硬背”。
  当然,也会有人推荐: “不能脱离语境,脱离了语境的词汇变成了完全抽象的符号,当然难记了。。..。.。通过电视,报纸,杂志来学习词汇就好的多了。..。..”(引博客某君留言),推崇用第二种方法的人也一定不在少数。Again for lack of a better term,我们把这办法叫做“读新闻学词汇”。
  当然,各人实践中常会变通求异、寻找合适自己的方式方法。所以,背记词汇的办法种类一定是“百花齐放”,但学习效果上却似乎没有出现“万紫千红”,要不怎么英文学习至今仍然是全民族的老大难问题呢。
  虽然词汇记忆是“各用各的法各有各的招”,但大多数都是从以上两种方法演化出来。今天我们就让“死记硬背”PK”读新闻学词汇“。
  先试一下第一种,”死记硬背”的办法。给自己一组五个词作为每天”定量“,就用下列五个:
  1. blithesome 1 = 欣喜,快乐(形容词);同义词: gay, merry
  2. berserk = 发狂,疯狂(形容词);同义词: frenzied 2, crazed
  3. sedentary = 不好动,需要久坐(形容词);同义词: not migratory 3, of much sitting
  4. debonair 4 = 有礼貌,潇洒、没烦恼(形容词);同义词: urbane 5, nonchalant, suave 6
  5. undulant = 作波浪式上下变动(形容词);同义词: of wavy 7 form or outline。
  为了方便记忆,每一个的同义词也给列出来了。当然,”记性好“是许多人的强项,他们或许感觉每天五个少了,不够挑战。每天十个可能更合适他们的记忆力:
  1. cabotage = 贸易或货物运输(名词),
  2. sobriquet 8 = 别名,外号(名词)
  3. palatable 9 = 口感好、味道不错(形容词)
  4. officinal = 止痛的,去病的(形容词)
  5. meander 10 = (道路)弯曲复杂,闲逛、漫游(动词)
  6. maudlin 11 = 酒后愁情流露,感情脆弱、外露(形容词)
  7. ideate = 有了主意,形成概念(动词)
  8. hebetude = 懒惰、愚钝(名词)
  9. fastidious = 吹毛求疵、标准过高要求过严(形容词)
  10. exculpate 12 = 使。.。无罪释放
  各位就当是玩一回小测试,挑战快速记忆能力,试着记住这两组十五个词。
  下面我们再来试一下”读新闻学词汇“这种方法。先引这么一段消息:
  READING, Ohio A man who runs a Cincinnati-area barbecue joint 13 says the busty mannequin he tethered to the front of the building has been good for business, but city officials say he needs a permit to keep her there。
  Under Reading (REH‘-ding) city rules, the 5-foot-10 brunette is considered a sign and requires a permit。
  Restaurateur Kenny Tessel says the bikini-clad figure in the tight short-shorts cost him nearly $200, but he quickly made that back in profit。
  He already has made one change. He removed a chain that kept the mannequin latched 14 to a utility pole after police said that was against the sign code。
  Tessel had chained the mannequin because he said he didn’t want some ”yahoo“ tossing her into the back of a pickup 15 truck。
